On Tuesday, 15 September 2026, at 15:00–16:00 UTC, the Industry Network Technology Council (INTC) will host a webinar ‘NIST: Migration to PQC‘ as part of its Quantum Network Webinar Series. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) has established a Migration to Post-Quantum Cryptography project focused on supporting the adoption of PQC standards. This effort includes two major workstreams: Cryptographic Visibility and Risk Management – building comprehensive cryptographic inventories to guide migration strategies; and Interoperability and Benchmarking – supporting vendors and organizations implementing PQC algorithms. As organizations assess the threat of a cryptanalytically relevant quantum computer (CRQC), NIST has defined structured phases for PQC migration, along with practical guidance and FAQs to support adoption. This session, presented by Bill Newhouse, provides a roadmap for organizations to begin their PQC transition, grounded in real-world testing and collaboration with industry and government stakeholders.

On Tuesday, 25 August 2026 at 08:00–09:00 PDT (15:00–16:00 UTC), the Industry Network Technology Council (INTC) and the India Internet Engineering Society (IIESoc) host the webinar ‘PQC and OpenSSL: Practical Integration and Deployment‘.

OpenSSL plays a central role in securing internet communications, making it a critical platform for integrating post-quantum cryptography (PQC) into real-world systems. As PQC algorithms move toward standardization, support for hybrid and quantum-resistant key exchange and signatures is emerging within OpenSSL and related libraries.

In this fifth talk in the INTC Quantum Series, Rich Salz will explore how PQC is being incorporated into OpenSSL, including provider-based architectures, integration with external libraries such as liboqs, and support for hybrid TLS handshakes.

WEBINAR 28 JUL 15:00 UTC – INTC – Transitioning to Quantum-Safe cryptography

A dark navy-blue webinar title slide with a clean, modern technology aesthetic. At the upper left is the Industry Network Technology Council logo and wordmark in white and cyan. At the upper right, "QUANTUM WEBINAR SERIES" appears in large white and cyan uppercase text. The left half of the slide is dominated by the event title, "Transitioning to Quantum-Safe Cryptography," set in large, bold white sans-serif type across three lines. Below it, the date "28 JULY 2026" is displayed in cyan. The right half features a glowing digital globe composed of blue dots and interconnected light nodes, with luminous network arcs spanning continents to suggest global connectivity and secure communications. Blue particle-wave effects flow across the lower edge of the slide, reinforcing the futuristic theme. Near the lower right, the white text "ARCHIVED BY ISOC.LIVE" serves as subtle branding. The overall design uses a restrained palette of deep blue, white, and electric cyan, with balanced typography and imagery conveying cybersecurity, networking, and quantum-era technology.

On 28 July 2026, the Industry Network Technology Council (INTC) hosted a webinar ‘Transitioning to Quantum-Safe cryptography‘.

This third talk in the INTC Quantum Series gave an overview of post-quantum encryption and digital signature primitives recently standardized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to which a lot of governments and organizations are currently transitioning. The session also gave a brief description of additional algorithms that are currently in the pipeline at NIST and talked about what kind of challenges one faces when trying to migrate more complex protocols to quantum-safe.

On Thursday, 23rd April 2026 at 11:00-12:00 EDT (15:00-16:00 UTC) the Industry Network Technology Council (INTC) and the India Internet Engineering Society (IIESoc) host a webinar ‘IP Address Geolocation‘.

IP-based geolocation is widely used today for applications such as content delivery, compliance, and network optimization, but has inherent limitations in accuracy, reliability, and user privacy. Jason Livingood will present an overview of the  IAB Workshop on IP Address Geolocation (IP-GEO) (ipgeows) which was held from December 3-5, 2025 as a three-day virtual meeting. He will explore current industry use cases, gaps in existing geolocation mechanisms, and the architectural challenges of relying on IP addresses for location inference, as well as discuss forward-looking approaches—including alternative, privacy-preserving location signals and improved data distribution methods—that aim to better meet enterprise, regulatory, and operational needs in modern Internet environments.
